    Well that was certainly eluminating. I kinda guessed that Dumbledore would offer Erin the Muggle studies position. I'm not normally one to guess in advance but if I may? Perhaps Severus and Erin tie the knot and obtain leagal gaurdianship of Harry?
    How does Hedwig feel about Harry spending so much time with Pumpkin anyway? Once again I say well done.

    Author's Response:

    Glad you are enjoying the story. I don't imagine Hedwig would be too thrilled if she actually encountered Pumpkin, but that's not very likely. She's around Crookshanks in canon and Crookshanks is often seen snuggling up to HArry. Hedwig isn't exactly a cuddly pet, is she?

    You'll have to wait and see what happens with our three major characters, I'm afraid.

    Thanks for your review.

    Wow! What have you done to Severus? He actually retrived Pumpkin? Aww thats sweet.
    As for that mental image of Erin over Severus' knee, mmmm I hope that there are plans for that to actually happen. She is a bit of a brat.
    I'm going to keep reading now, I can't believe you put up so many chapters in one night. Well done.

    Author's Response:

    Severus does have a heart lurking beneath those black robes..it is encased in ice though. The ice is beginning to crack and Sev is a tad out of his depth with Erin.

    Put yourself in Erin's shoes. I think you would be a bit of a brat as well if you were thrust into the unbelievable. Especially if the person charged with helping you come to terms with things was so very nasty all the time.

    Another great chapter, although I think that the cruelty he shows Erin may be slightly OOC.

    In canon, it always seems that severus treats women with at least the basic amounts of civility and courtesy.

    Once again, thanks for sharing your gift with us.

    Author's Response:

    Snape being nasty is OOC. He treats women with a modicum of civility? I don't remember that. He treats Minerva as a colleague but his interactions with her are very stiff and just barely civil. He is very nasty to Tonks about the change in her Patronus, and apart from interactions with female students, whom he is just as foul to as he is the males...Hermione specifically, there are only two other instances I can think of where he interacts with women. Don't get the movie Snape, who is nowhere near as nasty a he is portrayed in the books, mixed up with his canon self.

    The scene with Bella and Narcissa. Yes, he is reasonable, but he is also acting, pretending that he is on their side. Open aggression would hardly convey solidarity. And he is still not exactly pleasant.

    And then there are the childhood scenes where he is not only nasty, but actually hurts Petunia. Lily is the only female he makes an effort with and even then, he finds it difficult to remain pleasant

    As for Erin...he is particularly nasty because he is attracted to her and is doing everything he can to dispell this impression as he cannot imagine that his attraction would ever be reciprocated.

    It is interesting to see people's different takes on Snape.

    Thanks for you review Donna. Hope to hear from you again.

    I can hardly wait till you update! I've been really enjoying this story. I like its premise, and I like Erin's spirit. Keep up the good work!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you so much.. Am very glad you are enjoying 'Muggle', and the Muggle specifically. Couldn't have a weepy female falling for Sev! He'd sweep the floor with her and wouldn't be attracted to her in the first place.

    Update soon, I promise.

    I just started reading your story and I like it a lot. I like the fact that Erin doesnt back down from Severus and that she is kind to Harry. I have to admit I hate the abuse part though. I cried when I read how badly Vernon beat Harry. Poor kid. He needs a nice mum and dad (hint to you!)

    Author's Response:

    Thank you for your review, lily. Glad you found the story, and am thrilled you are enjoying it. Yep, Erin wouldn't take Sev's guff lying down...she is a thoroughly liberated woman.

    And Vernon is certainly a horror...not as bad in canon of course...we do attribute much more abuse to the Dursleys than they actually dole out in the books. Still horrible people though.

    Hope to hear from you again

    Another absolutely terrific chapter!!

    The tension and chemistry you are building is very well done. Am I correct in assuming that it was Severus' hand comforting Erin?

    Author's Response:

    Umm, no sorry. Not Severus' hand. Severus was sitting on the opposite side of the table to Erin. it was Minerva's hand, and Erin even assumes it was Minerva, thinking to herself that Minerva seems to have taken it upon herself to be her  official comforter.

    No, Sev is reluctant to touch Erin to date, because he is worried about the electric shock he might get because he is attracted to her.

    Thanks for another great review. Glad you enjoyed it.

    I sense a relationship brewing :)

    Author's Response:

    Well, it is a love story...so yes, their relationship is becoming even more tense.

    Thank you for your review.

    A very good chapter, again! I am curious as to why you broke the chapter there, though.

    It's not exactly a cliffie, just unbearably sad.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks for your review. I probably broke the chapter there as I did not want to write HArry's emotions, nor the reactions of the various people around the bed.

    We know how Harry would feel, so we don't need it spelled out. Sorry if you felt deprived. Of course, it will be addressed in the next chapter, but briefly.
